Limitless ATC
Simulator

THOR is a centralized, web-based simulator designed for air traffic control (ATC) education and training. It is a supplementary tool for existing training environments, increasing access to practical exercises for students and simplifying the creation of training scenarios for instructors. By using THOR, training can be conducted independently of location, and instructors can create exercises for students more efficiently than with previous methods. This is a new approach to a training process that has historically been rigid and expensive.

All current ATC training solutions are location-based and require large-scale setups at a training facility. This process is costly, time-consuming, and requires students and instructors to be in the same place at the same time. THOR, however, is the first centralized, remote solution, requiring only an internet connection for training. It is not a competitor but a supplement to existing systems, offering students greater flexibility and making training more cost-effective.

THOR uses artificial intelligence to simulate the behavior of pilots during training exercises. Instead of relying on human pilots, the system creates AI pilots with unique characteristics. Each AI pilot is programmed with its own strengths, weaknesses, and a specific voice for communication, making the training scenarios feel more realistic for the student.

No, THOR is not intended to be a competitor to existing systems. It is designed as a supplement that provides students with great flexibility in their training. It also makes it easier for instructors to create their own. THOR helps to ensure that practical sessions with an instructor are used more effectively.

Instructors group exercises into chapters and chapters into a course, then enrol students. Chapters and exercises unlock in order as students complete them, and every attempt is kept for review.

The progress matrix shows every student against every exercise. From any cell you can open the statistics for each attempt and replay the run. The AI status report summarises the whole course or a single student.

Each run earns points (such as landings, correct transfers and caught pilot errors), loses points (such as losses of separation and runway incursions) and records missed points. On top of that come 40+ statistics, from minimum separation and conflict response time to phraseology. Instructors use these to judge progress.

Yes. Students push to talk and give clearances in standard phraseology, and each AI pilot reads back in its own voice. Typing commands or using the command window is always available as a fallback, unless the instructor makes an exercise voice only.

Every run is recorded. Students and instructors can drag the replay timeline back and forth, bookmark moments, and resume flying from any point to try a different decision.

Yes. In a paired session one student works approach and the other works tower on the same traffic, handing aircraft over and coordinating releases over a landline.

A computer with a modern web browser, an internet connection and a headset with a microphone. Nothing needs to be installed.

Yes. Exercises and whole courses can be published to the THOR marketplace, where other organisations can import them.

THOR uses English, the standard language of ICAO phraseology, for both the interface and radio communication.
